maxpesh can you tell me how much better leds are now then they were a few years ago?? I have a friend that bought one (no idea from where) it tried it in his flower room and got what we all call "pop corn" buds. He moved it to his veg room and it's doing great. Of course we all want bigger plants with less power / heat but from the past the leds just did not produce. Do you have any pics of finished product with leds that produce? thanks
the key to LED = Spectrum + High Wattage Diodes(5-6watters out now)![]()
Been doing loads of research for the last 2 years, so here's the thing ! Would anyone be interested in a new LED company AFTER the new year because I have been growing for about 15 years now and all this stuff about leds seems to be about greedy business persons jumping on the band wagon and to be honest it would seem to me that nearly all of them haven't done a lot of learning, they just want to make a fast BIG profit rather than making a small amount but producing a great product in order to sell more volume. I certainly won't spam any company on these forums once I get started up but now I have designed the light I will be doing a full grow to prove my results, and btw I will be doing them as ACTUAL POWER DRAW. I just see so many people getting ripped by the so called "better" lights and shortfalls of the "cheaper" ones that it has inspired me to take the leap into this business, oh and they will be 3 yrs guarantee. Please be aware once again I am not going to spam or hijack anyone's thread or try to advertise the name of my company on here. Just wanted your thoughts. Also I do not wish to get into any arguments with any other led business owners on here as there is enough bickering goes on in the forums anyway. I want to converse and move forward with real growers both experienced and new alike to cultivate better ideas.
I am interested as well!!! My only concern is buying / using and not getting the same results as my 1000 watt I have now. Can you honestly tell me I will get the same amount (weight) and resin production as my 1000 watt bulb? I grow in a tent / hydro with approx 15 plants and get about a pound and a half.
Many thanks for your kind words, but I sense that I am going to upset a lot of other sellers on the WWW. I will keep in touchIm interested and admire your ambition. Good luck, let me know when you have a couple units built...i'll gladly test one for you.
Maxpesh,
I like what your saying! I'm just starting out as a grower and will be starting using LED's. LED is the future of lighting and grow lighting. I would love to hear more about your product and help you out in any way I can. I'm a marketing guy by day so I would be happy to help you spread the word if your product actually lives up the what your saying. Better light + Better price = Winning
Im using the 11 band company and my results are awesome! At least they are different from the rest and rate at just a little over the actual draw. My 300w unit draws 265 watts and costs $800. But I am liking what Ive read. I was thinking 11 bands may be a little too many and 8 sounds much better and 3 or 5 bands dont have the "Important" spectrums. The biggest, "densest" buds Ive grown have been with LED, so I know the technology is there if you use the right spectrums. Ive grown bigger with hps, but not nearly as dense. I would love to learn more about your LED! Im all for anyone wanting to HELP the industry and not just make a profit. Good job man! Im more than interested!
@albsure. Without going into too much detail. My specs for the light, actual power draw will pull between 220 - 240 watts (other companies would probably advertise this as a 400watt led). will cover approx 9 square feet and will replace any HPS bulb that you would use in a grow tent of this size. Also resin production should be huge. I am going to keep the prices as low as I can. The build quality will be of the highest order too, proper finned heatsinks, not just a flat aluminium plate so the lifespan should extent to the led manufacturers maximum expectations.
Hi, it will cover a 3ft x 3ft grow tent for floweringWhen you say cover 9 square feet "aprox" do you mean you can flower a 9 sq ft area or veg?
This all sounds great! I'm looking forward to hearing more info as it comes along. I will hold off on my next round of purchases till you get back to us
